Slightly Chipped
Slightly Chipped: Footnotes in Booklore | Nancy Goldstone, Lawrence Goldstone
5 posts | 6 read | 27 to read
Continuing the couple's love affair with book collecting that was first shared with readers in "Used and Rare, " the Goldstones get hooked on the correspondence and couplings of Bloomsbury, track down Bram Stoker's earliest notes for "Dracula, " and discover new places to buy rare tomes--meeting eccentric personalities along the way.

Non-fiction next up. It‘s also a #progressitnovember read as it‘s part of a series.

Mehso-so

Meh. Not as good as their first memoir, Used and Rare, about becoming book collectors. 📖 Too many tangents in this book: a short one about William Morris and his Kelmscott Press, a longer one about Virginia Woolf and the whole Bloomsbury group, and an egregiously long tangent about them at the auction of books and things from the house of Edward, Duke of Windsor, and Wallis Simpson in the late 90s (snore 😴 ). 🤪 3 🍅 Also yuppyish restaurants.

I'm not a book collector, but I love the Goldstone's stories about the hunt! #currentlyreading #nonfiction

Slow Friday means some extra reading time on the computer👊 I just started this book about book collectors, which I once saw a recommendation for somewhere (probably here😂).

Edited to note: the first chapter is absolutely charming📚📚📚

Snow Yesss!!! Used and Rare (same authors) is one of my all-time favorites! 😍 7y
